HO's design team had one goal: build the world's greatest tournament waterski to represent the pride, determination, and passion of the sport's greatest minds and most talented athletes. The all new V-Type R features a rocker line with a progressively changing elliptical arc. The result is a large radius arc in the center for improved fore/aft stability and increased velocity and smaller radii arcs in the tip and the tail for quick, tight turns. Adjustable vibration dampening system allows stable turns. The V-Type R ski's superlite construction includes a proprietary combination of aerospace carbon fiber and Superlite Core Technology. Speed skin is an advanced laminar textured ski base that reduces ski drag and increases ski speed.
